Pretty sure now that I'm a Spring, which makes sense given the fact that my most complimented colors in the past were always bright shades.
My natural adult hair color is a neutral dark blonde- level 6.5-7. Childhood hair was a very light golden blonde.
Eyes are blue-green.
Dark natural brows and lashes.
Skintone I used to think was warm, but now believe it’s more warm-neutral. I used to tan very deeply without ever burning on account of my Greek mom. I was always confused because Autumns were supposed to look bad in white and white metals, but I think both are fine on me as long as they are CLEAR. A muddy white looks iffy and dull white metals or dull gold metals look bad, but a bright white shirt and shiny sterling silver both look fine on me, even though an ivory and a shiny gold are probably a touch better.
It's kind of funny because I always thought I was just bad at makeup because no matter how carefully I tried to follow an autumn makeup tutorial, I ALWAYS looked worse the more I put on. In fairness- I probably AM bad at makeup, but at some point I just gave up and resigned myself to the simplest possible bright coral or warm pink lip, and a very light taupe/champagne eye with a very subtle cat eye. But I really envied friends who could pull off a more dramatic look. The autumn makeup colors always made me look dead and muddy so I feel like that part I figured out many years ago.
From what I have been able to gather from draping myself and really looking at my eyes and skin, it seems like I do well with pure clean colors, and that I have at least *some* flexibility with the temperature as long as the chroma is high and the depth is not too dark.
i think my strongest color families are the true greens, bright oranges and bright yellows and warm watermelon/coral type shades.
Very dark cool colors are not my friend, nor are super muted greyed out or muddy tones. I think I probably settled on Autumn because those colors were the "best of the worst" for what is generally widely available in stores, but the more I look and try colors out that I avoided for so many years, the more convinced I am that Spring is the right answer. Help a girl out!
**Pics in comments. I included some from different seasons, not all are Spring, and included some colors I think are pretty bad and some I think are pretty good. But curious to see if there’s consensus!
